U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Faces Setback Amid New Missile Attacks

TEL AVIV, June 24 (AP): Israel warned its public to take shelter after detecting missile launches from Iran early Tuesday. The launches came after 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, the time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their airstrikes.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours. It is unclear yet how the latest developments will impact possible ceasefire agreements.

Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue services said at least three people were killed and eight injured in the early morning barrage. A residential building in Israel’s south sustained heavy damage, emergency responders said.

Waves of missiles sent Israelis across the country to bomb shelters for almost two hours Tuesday morning.

In southern Israel, what appeared to be a residential building sustained heavy damage, according to an image released by Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services. The face of the large 7-story building appeared blown off, with twisted metal and broken cement poking out.
